ACEEE Intelligent Efficiency Conference DOER Commissioner Judith Judson December 8, 2015
DOER Purpose and Organization Creating a Clean, Affordable and Resilient Energy Future Develops policies and manages RPS/APS programs Oversees development of statewide EE programs Supports cities and towns with grants, technical assistance Green Communities Renewable Energy DOER Emerging Technology & Innovation Energy Efficiency Energy Markets Tracks industry trends, develops policy for energy supply & security Smart Grid, Storage, EVs 2
Massachusetts Energy Approach 1.Reducing and stabilizing the rising cost of energy for consumers 2.Continuing the Commonwealth s commitment to a clean energy future Meeting the Global Warming Solutions Act s (GWSA) GHG reductions: 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 (1990 baseline) 3.Ensuring that we have a safe, reliable, and resilient energy infrastructure. 3
Policy Framework for EE in Massachusetts State law requires pursuing all cost-effective energy efficiency Utilities coordinate on statewide EE plans deliver under single brand: Mass Save Utilities develop 3-year plans that are approved by Department of Public Utilities Input into planning and execution of 3-year plans overseen by Energy Efficiency Advisory Council, a broad stakeholder body chaired by DOER 4

Energy Efficiency Leadership Continues 3 rd Three Year Savings Plan (2016-2018) Most aggressive energy efficiency goals in U.S. $8 billion in economic, environmental and energy benefits Electric savings: 2.93% reduction in retail sales each year ACEEE ranks Mass. #1 state for energy efficiency, 5 th year in a row 6 Gas savings: 1.24% reduction in retail sales each year
MWh Growing Importance of Electric Efficiency 2008-2018 Cumulative impact of EE on MA electric load 55,000,000 Cumulative EE savings (MWh) 50,000,000 45,000,000 Actual / Forecast Electric sales (MWh) 40,000,000 35,000,000 30,000,000 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Year
IEE Focus Area: Peak Demand Reduction Problem summer and winter peak demand DOER seasonal peak reduction pilot with WiFi thermostats 2016-2018 EE plans include a demand reduction working group, to develop new initiatives
IEE Focus Area: Innovation in Technology and Program Delivery Problem continuing to find cost-effective savings 2016-2018 plans include commitment to continuous integration of innovation DOER leading the way with demonstrations of low/no-touch, low-cost opportunity identification methods
Enabling IEE: Zero Net Energy Buildings 10
Enabling IEE: Energy Storage Storage is a game changer that can play a part in solving our energy challenges $10 million Energy Storage Initiative includes two-part study as well as demonstration projects The Commonwealth s plans for energy storage will allow the state to move toward establishing a mature local market for these technologies that will, in turn, benefit ratepayers and the local economy. Gov. Baker, May 2015 11
What s next for IEE in MA? Grid Modernization Resiliency $40 million in municipal resiliency via clean energy Electric Vehicles Install charging stations and spur the market for EV ownership 12
